A Mount Hermon man accused in a March 29 shooting near Covington was arrested late Tuesday (April 29) in a casino parking garage near Bay St. Louis, Miss., St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Capt. George Bonnett said. Finney Riley, 30, was wanted for attempted murder in connection with a shooting in the Abita Nursery subdivision that left one man injured.

Bonnett said St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office investigators worked with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office and the Louisiana Attorney General's Office to arrest Riley. Authorities found him at around 11 p.m. inside a vehicle in the Sliver Slipper's parking garage, Bonnett said.

Riley was arrested without incident and is being held in Hancock County, Bonnet said. Pending extradition, he said Riley would be booked in St. Tammany with one count of attempted second-degree murder.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office said last month that Riley was a suspect in the shooting. Deputies were called to an area near Eden and Spruce Streets on March 29 in reference to gunshots, and moments later received a call from St. Tammany Parish Hospital that a patient had arrived with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators said the victim's vehicle had several apparent gunshot holes on the driver's side door, window and back of the vehicle.
